Predictions for 2026

Trump sincere?
Bobby: more by end of year
Jordan: fears trump assassinated … launching us into war’ … Bobby agrees

Twitter censorship
B: less in US, Europeans thrown in jail for thought crime and wrong speak (also NZ Canada and Australia)
J: about the same on twitter … right on the commonwealth countries

Trojan horse administration?
B: not so much
J: too early to tell

WWIII / Iran / Russia escalation
B: Europe continues push to war with Russia, Middle East ???
J: yes yes yes escalation

Ukraine?
B: no idea, Zelensky out
J: Escalation

Israel
B: more of the same
J: more of the same, more war, more expansion

War in general
B: No more declared wars… more of these actions
J: right but ….possibly we have a declared war or massive conflict maybe not 2026

WWIII comment – Repeat from 2025 but so relevant
The mind control is far more invasive and persistent than we’ve thought–biologically, chemically, electromagnetically etc. The war is between the oligarchy and the regular people.

MISC:

Bobby: The Psyops are ramping up – People are waking up.
Jordan: Agree. We can always metanoeo. Knowing is half the battle and people are waking up.
Jordan: We’ve become a low trust society. We’re losing trust. We need a high trust society.

B: the Maduro arrest is a huge turning point (Venezuela incursion), psychological war, Trump understands the enemy
J: agree

J: The US continues to antagonize China (and Russia) and cut off their trading partners.

Internal strife caused by bad actors among immigrants?
Bobby: Pockets of strife in the US
Jordan: Used as a political tool to further restrict regular people

Tesla Stock:
B: UP
Nvidia stock:
B: unclear – 10% of where they are now

Economy in general
B: hopeful, hopeful prices go down
J: not good, stagflation

Cyber 911
B: sometime if not in 2026
J: sometime if not in 2026

Cox / Utah Politics
B: more of the same, would love to see accountability
J: don’t hold your breath, more of the same

Church
B: New apostle for Holland, plus 2 more new positions needing to be filled in Q12
Replacement for Holland may be his son Matt Holland or Ahmed Corbet
J: Oaks (via hierarchy behind the scenes) pushes for a stricter church… possible purge. You’ll not see a lot of publicity. I mean obeying “current” accepted rules, standards and commandments (polygamy affirmers, papal keys) … strangely merged with elements of wokism/ democrat /uniparty ideology … sounds like we’re compassionate / nice. Civil discourse. Follow leaders/ gov and church. Good global citizens. Not much discussion on abortion, lgbtq gay… nothing to invoke the ire of that crowd.

Any good movies coming?
B: I hope so… !
J: NO

Running Man 2025
Fallout TV Series
Stranger Things Final Season
The Witcher lame most recent season
Falling Skies TV Series
Lonesome Dove Book TV series

2026 In General
Bobby: Wild year: theme: Escalation

Jordan: We’re going to make positive improvements, envisioning the future and getting out of captivity and moving forward!!! Great need for the Holy Spirit, for the Lord’s advice

Idk, cheering an unconstitutional act of war is weird for conservatives to do, but most Republican voters are lazy, low information followers.
Doing yet another regime change and saying we are going to run Venezuela for the foreseeable future is also very weird.

Maybe election tampering is a big thing going on through Venezuela, but maybe not. Trump certainly didn’t say that was the reason for breaking the Constitution on war and his “no new wars” campaign promise was to squash election fraud, neither is that listed in the charges that Bondi wrote up (this is the most telling that election fraud isn’t the reason).
It certainly wasn’t because of drugs, because Trump, just last month, released a convicted drug lord from South or central America (and Mexico would have been the better choice to attack over drugs).

This year better be wild, and in a good way (far better than 2025), otherwise Trump won’t have a majority in Congress to do anything, because they will certainly lose the midterms with how they have been acting as America Second chumps and people are pissed off. His presidency (both terms) have been pathetic.

Change My Mind was Steven Crowder. Not sure if Charlie had something similar early on.

Trump is sincerely working on taking care of his american and foreign donors.

X has censored my post recently, when I stated a fact, that in the 1940s, one of the earliest terrorist groups in the region of modern day Israel were made up of Jews.

Too many people dont know if they are for or against the Constitution. You can’t use the military without permission from Congress. That is explicit in the Constitution. So, do we believe it or not?
It’s neocon nonsense. There’s no provision in the constitution that says the president can randomly decide to become a law enforcement officer for the world. Likewise, when an American company decides to make risky business practices in foreign nations, they don’t get to have the government use the military to bail them out.

Per Reuters, Trump’s plan is to subsidize oil companies to rebuild infrastructure in Venezuela. More corporate bailouts and donor aid. We will be there for years in some capacity. It is now a puppet government and Trump is making sure more of his donors’ are taken care of.

Of course Netanyahu, just days before our Venezuela strike, links Iran about to send arms to Venezuela. It seems that he is always invloved in our decision making. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/netanyahu-claims-iran-could-send-024532112.html

I went to the ward grew up in, and they allow a convert to pass the sacrament with a quarter unbuttoned dress shirt, with no tie, blue jeans and wearing dangly cross earrings. When i was in YM, the bishop would have went ballistic if anyone tried looking like that to pass the sacrament. Some things have definitely loosened up.

This website and podcast contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of "Fair Use."

Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, "the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work.

The use on this website and podcast of other material is primarily for criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research and teaching. (1) (a) The "purpose and character" of the website, podcast and any derivative book(s) are not commercial. (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the authors' original work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor competitive with those sources. (2) The nature of the copyrighted work quoted is often "news" or "history," categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works.

Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this website, podcast or related book(s) for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website, podcast, or book(s) created from it will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found).
